We are a non profit organization that runs a reading program, the Reading Partners, in the Waltham, Malden and Watertown elementary schools. Our main objective is to help increase the literacy skills of children in K-3. The Reading Partners Program is looking for volunteers 55+ in Waltham to work with children one on one in Fitch, Fitzgerald, MacArthur,Whittemore, and Bright Elementary Schools. This opportunity is sponsored by: Mystic Valley Elder Services, Inc.
Working with children is a very rewarding experience. Volunteers return year after year because of the joy and reward of being part of a child's first reading experience. Don't you want to be a part of our team?
